BAMAKO, Mali – A Malian official says two people were killed when an explosive went off, apparently by accident, in the country's north.

Choguel Maiga, a government spokesman, said Tuesday that the explosive detonated while it was being manipulated, bringing down a house in the northern city of Gao on Monday. Malian and U.N. officials are now searching the house for more information.
